Major Emergency Declarations

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:18): Supplementary: while I am sure my colleague would appreciate a phone call, I am sure the South Australian public, particularly businesses, would like to know. Will the minister ensure the government makes some sort of public notification and early warning of extension of these emergency declarations?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:18): The answer to that is yes, because of course the government has to not only gazette the decision but it has to publicly announce it by way of either press release or public statement. So I am very happy to say yes to the honourable member's question. We accept the substance of the Hon. Mr Parnell's question; that is, as early a notice as is possible in relation to these issues is advisable. The government is certainly aware of that. We have to gazette it, but we will publicly announce the government's position as well.
